What it's like

Zea Marina, also called Pasalimani, is the harbor at Piraeus where some of the most impressive yachts anchor. Its seafront is lined with restaurants, tavernas, bars and shops.

A visit is simple. Walk the seafront, eat at a taverna facing the water, and check the boat departures. Hovercraft services from here run to the Argosaronikos Gulf, and the nearby Piraiki district has many fish tavernas and ouzo restaurants with sea views.

Good to know

The boat trip is about ten hours on a motor-sailing boat, not a sailing charter.
The marina sits on the Piraeus waterfront, with the seafront restaurants right along it.
